Registration Form Questions

Overview

The following are instructions for creating and implementing questions on the registration form, for example how many trailers is your team bringing? or a question with an associated cost such as would you like to purchase a Small T-shirt?

How to Create Registration Form Questions:

  5. The edit window will open, enter a 'section header'; all questions with the same header will group together on the registration form (i.e. merchandise, number of attendees, team information etc.). Then enter  a 'question'. Please note if you are allowing people to order multiple T-shirts you will need a separate question for each size so that they can select how many of each size they want.
